Summer may be quickly coming to a close, but our faithful contributors here at Exclaim! are still out and about taking in the live show experience.

For a sampling of what they came back with, click here to check out our
recent write-up on Toronto's edition of the Virgin Festival, an event that was a bit chaotic with last minute changes, but overall delivered with sets from Nine Inch Nails, Pet Shop Boys, the Pixies, Grizzly Bear, Franz Ferdinand and many more.

Also rocking Toronto recently were metal gods Motörhead, while out west Daniel Johnston played a heartfelt performance in Calgary and Vancouver fans braved the weather to see the Pretenders, Cat Power and Juliette Lewis. And not to ignore the East coast, we also have Josh Martinez returning home to Halifax for an energetic hometown performance.
